ATditi paid America one compliment
by marrying one of Virginia beautiful
daughters nearly quarter of a century
ago, with whom he has lived happily
ever since. Their home is in London.
and thither the conductor always re-

fruit of the union is young man who

Possessed of great musical ability, he
had been studying the piano for years
under the best masters of the continent
and was now finished pianist. but he
had not yet made his bow to the public
So Gigi was sent on that fOrlOrn hope
to dill the void of an absent Patti. He
was introduced with an apology and was
received with chill which must have
frozen his young heart. But he buckled
down to work like hero, playing List

the audience. His touch was a masters
and he swept through the chords of this
wild masterpiece with power which
went right down into the souls of his
audience When he had finished there
was an instant's silence, followed by
storm of applause. Young Arditi played
piece after piece. and 1t seemed as If he
never could satisfy the hunger of his au
dience. As for the father, who stood
behind the scenes, his eyes full of joyful
tears, he recalled how nearly forty years
ago one of his own early triumphs had
been won in the same city of Dublin.

u ROl RhE y tOkRENI POSITION.
position; aud, third, to calculate the
force of the forward swing of the bat
aud the force of the blow in meeting
either swiftly or moderately fast pitch
ed ball. First, in regard to how to hold
the bat. ~ batsman who holds his bat
in awkward position is placed at n great
disadvantage when facing swift pitching,
as he has to draw his bat back before he
can strike at the ball. The correct po-
sition is well assumed by the champion
batsman of the league in 1884, James
o Rourke. He holds his bat nicely bal
anced and poised ready to hit at high
or low pitched ball or a slow or swift
ball. The correct position at the bat
has a great deal to do with successful
hitting, and especially with scientific
batting"
When Mr.. Chadwick took up the sec
ond consideration in studying the art of
batting, e.. that of facing for posi-
tion"-his talk became 50 technical that
ii was necessary to send ont for an artist
to illustrate his remarks with diagrams
and pictures. The result was the series
of cuts scattered through this article.
Mr.. Chadwick says that according as the
batsman stands in facing the pitcher so
will the forward swing of his arms i'm
handling the bat meet the pitched ball.
When the batSman stands for II hit TO
left field his feet stand on line parallel
with the fOul-line to third base, and in
standing thus the natural SWING of his
arms bringing the bat forward to meet
the ball causes it to hit the bail to left
field. In facing for "A right-lield hit the
batsman' feet stand on line parallel
with the fOul-ball line to first base. and
this brings the forward swing Of the bat
to meet the ball so as to send it to the
right instead of the left. Of course, if
he desires to face for center field his feet
will stand on line parallel to that of
his batting position.
As to the effect the new rules will
have upon the batsmans position Mr..
Chadwick saws that the first change of
consequence to be explained is that
which places the first and third bases
within the foul ball lines. just as the
home base is placed This has been done
20 avoid the difficulty the umpire has
heretofore encountered in Judging balls
which either touched the first base or
passed over it. For instance, it was this
double line of the passage of ground
balls over the base which made the diff
ficulty. Under the new rule, which
places the base within the foul lines, the
umpire has no difficulty in judging hit
balls which pass over the plate, as all
such balls must now be fair balls, mas.
much as the base is now entirely within
the foul ball line.
There is one class of fair and foul
hit balls" said Mr.. Chadwick. which
generally puzzle batsmen, and that is
balls which are known as fair fouls In
Judging this class of balls bntsmen must
bear in mind the important fact that no
ball which goes up in the air can become
a fair foul ball. as rule: making the

NEW BATTING RULES.
CHANGES MADE SINCE LAST YEAR.


The batsman in baseball ought just
now to be instructing himself in the new
rules for his portion of the play as fixed
by the recent convention, and spectators
of the sport next season will be puzzled
unless they learn what the novelties
mean. Henry Chadwick, the expert, APP
pears to foresee gradual revolution in
the game which, in few years, will
make it as unlike the game of our elder
brothers, not to say fathers, as possible.
He says:
The radical changes made in the play
ing rules of baseball by the conference
committee will materially change the
character of batting for this coming sea-
son; and that, too, to the advantage of
the batsman and in the way of improve
ment in handling the ash scientifically.
Before referring to the amendments to
the rules governing the batsman and his
position. it will be worth while to com
ment little on batting as an art. and to
see what progress has been made in this
department of the game. Many years
ago, when the game may be said to have
been young and charming, there was a
period when for several seasons large
scores characterized the contests. This
was in the heavy batting era of under
hand pitching and elastic rubber-filled
balls. From this extreme in the way of
hitting an elastic ball around the field
dead-ball period followed some years
later, and in the year when this latter
class of balls was used the other extreme
was reached, game at Manchester, N
H., between the club of that city and the
Harvard College nine, resulting in
score of 0 to at the end of the twenty
fourth inning. One might imagine that
the excessively large scores of the for
mer years was a consequence of great
skill in batting, while the other phenOm-
email record was due to equally remark
able skill in fielding. But to neither
cause was either score to be attributed.
inasmuch as any novice in batting can
hit an easily pitched elastic ball for home
runs, while there is not the slightest diff
flculty in fielding dead balls from the
bat. Since the times of these extremes
in scoring there have been great changes
both in the batting and fielding depart
ments of the game, and a marked i'm
provement has been shown in both; but
the advance of the art of batting has not
kept pace with that of fielding One
reason for this is that but little atten-
ton has been paid by the fraternity at
large to the study of the theory of strate-
gic batting Improvement in fielding has
been forced on the majority of the play
ers by the fact that the great mass of
patrons of the game, while knowing lit
tie or nothing about scientific batting,
can fully appreciate the beauty of skill
full exhibitions of fielding; hence an i'm
petus has been given to fielding excel
lence, while batting has not benefited by

ALL THE ARDITIs MUSICAL.
About the Famous Director

There is a magic in the name of Sig
nor Arditi 1t is potent name in the
world of music, name associated with
gfapdest triumphs of Italian opera, for
his hand has held the wand over the
greatest singers of the age. For the
past forty years Arditi has conducted
opera. and yet in so modest manner
that few outside of the charmed circle
realize the important part he has filed.

and far superior to either as composer,

musical Europe than unmusical Ameri-
ca, and he lives in the calm satisfaction

prima donna that ever lived, would not

own.
Arditis career has been an unexciting
one full of placid success. though there
have passed oyer his little bald head
some Of the widest waves of public
enthusiasm that ever swept from audi
forum to stage. He was born away
back in 1882, at CrescentinO, Piedmont,
and was educated as a Violinist at the
Milan Conservatory. But he early
showed that his powers as leader were
greater than as a violinist, and he was
soon leading the orchestra in the small
cities of Italy, and from this graduated
to the opera in Milan, He came to
America more than thirty years ago, and
conducted the opera in Castle Garden,
New York's temple of music at that
time. In his company were such artists
as Bosce, SteffanOni, Botterini and Ba-
dali. In 1857 he was appointed must
cal director of Her Majesty's Theatre in
London, and quickly made his way into
the hearts of the British music-lovers.
Two years later he was conducting TIA
lian opera in the Theatre Naum for the
bloods of Constantinople, leading such
singers as Murio- Cell, now of this city;
Gulielmini, Garcia and Florani. Here
he remained two years, composing and
conducting, and so greatly was the Sui
tan pleased with his compositions that
he invested Arditi with the Order of
Medjidie. From Constantinople the
conductor went to Athens, and thence to
the chief cities of Italy, Spain, Prussia,
Austria and Russia. Seventeen years
ago he harnessed himself to that tuneful
chariot driven by the gay and martial
whip, Col Mapleson, and his address

In year or two ago, the majority of
batsmen have taken their position at the
